Christ whose glory fills the skies
Author: C. Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 475 hymnals Topics: God's World Days and Nights: Morning Lyrics: 1 Christ whose glory fills the skies,
Christ the true, the only light;
Sun of righteousness, arise,
triumph over shades of night:
Dayspring from on high, be near;
Daystar, in my heart appear!
2 Dark and cheerless is the morn
till your mercy's beams I see;
joyless is the day's return
till your glories shine on me:
as they inward light impart,
cheer my eyes and warm my heart.
3 Visit then this soul of mine,
pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
fill me, radiancy divine,
scatter all my unbelief;
more and more yourself display,
shining to the perfect day! Used With Tune: RATISBON
Christ whose glory fills the skies
We plow the field and scatter
Author: Matthias Claudius, 1740-1815; Jane Montgomery Campbell, 1817-1878 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D with refrain Appears in 454 hymnals Topics: Holy Days and Various Occasions Thanksgiving Day Lyrics: 1. We plow the fields, and scatter
the good seed on the land,
but it is fed and watered
by God's almighty hand;
he sends the snow in winter,
the warmth to swell the grain,
the breezes and the sunshine,
and soft refreshing rain.
Refrain:
All good gifts around us
are sent from heaven above;
then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord
for all his love.
2. He only is the Maker
of all things near and far;
he paints the wayside flower,
he lights the evening star;
the wind and waves obey him,
by him the birds are fed;
much more to us, his children,
he gives our daily bread. [Refrain]
3. We thank thee, then, O Father,
for all things bright and good,
the seedtime and the harvest,
our life, our health, our food:
the gifts we have to offer
are what thy love imparts,
but chiefly thou desirest
our humble, thankful hearts. [Refrain]

Once to ev'ry man and nation
Who are these like stars appearing
Author: H. T. Schenck; F. E. Cox Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 145 hymnals Topics: Processionals Saints' Days Lyrics: 1 Who are these like stars appearing,
These, before God's throne who stand?
Each a golden crown is wearing;
Who are all this glorious band?
Alleluia! hark, they sing,
Praising loud their heavenly King.
2 Who are these of dazzling brightness,
These in God's own truth arrayed,
Clad in robes of purest whiteness,
Robes whose lustre ne'er shall fade,
Ne'er be touched by time's rude hand?
Whence come all this glorious band?
3 These are they who have contended
For their Saviour's honor long,
Wrestling on till life was ended,
Following not the sinful throng:
These, who well the fight sustained,
Triumph by the Lamb have gained.
4 These are they whose hearts were riven,
Sore with woe and anguish tried,
Who in prayer full oft have striven
With the God they glorified:
Now, their painful conflict o'er,
God has bid them weep no more.
5 These like priests have watched and waited,
Offering up to Christ their will;
Soul and body consecrated,
Day and night to serve him still:
Now in God's most holy place
Blest they stand before His face.
Amen. Used With Tune: ALL SAINTS

There Is a Fountain
Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Appears in 2,474 hymnals Topics: Holy Week, The Three Days First Line: There is a fountain filled with blood Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain filled with blood
drawn from Immanuel's veins;
and sinners, plunged beneath that flood,
lose all their guilty stains:
lose all their guilty stains,
lose all their guilty stains;
and sinners, plunged beneath that flood,
lose all their guilty stains.
2 The dying thief rejoiced to see
that fountain in his day;
and there have I, though vile as he,
washed all my sins away:
washed all my sins away,
washed all my sins away;
and there have I, though vile as he,
washed all my sins away.
3 Thou dying Lamb, thy precious blood
shall never lose its pow'r
till all the ransomed church of God
be saved, to sin no more:
be saved, to sin no more,
be saved, to sin no more;
till all the ransomed church of God
be saved, to sin no more.
4 E'er since by faith I saw the stream
thy flowing wounds supply;
redeeming love has been my theme,
and shall be till I die:
and shall be till I die,
and shall be till I die,
redeeming love has been my theme,
and shall be till I die.
5 When this poor, faltering mortal tongue
lies silent in the grave,
then in a nobler, sweeter song
I'll sing thy pow'r to save:
I'll sing thy pow'r to save,
I'll sing thy pow'r to save;
then in a nobler, sweeter song
I'll sing thy pow'r to save. Scripture: Zechariah 13:1 Used With Tune: CLEANSING FOUNTAIN

Ere the worlds began to be,
He is Alpha and Omega,
He the source, the ending he,
Of the things that are, that have been,
And that future years shall see,
Evermore and evermore.
2 Blessed was the day for ever
When the Virgin, full of grace,
By the Holy Ghost conceiving,
Bore the Savior of our race,
And the child, the world's Redeemer,
First revealed his sacred face,
Evermore and evermore.
3 This is he whom seers in old time
Chanted of with one accord,
Whom the voices of the prophets
Promised in their faithful word;
Now he shines, the long expected;
Let creation praise the Lord,
Evermore and evermore.
4 O ye heights of heav'n, adore him;
Angel hosts, his praises sing:
All dominions, bow before him,
And extol our God and King;
Let no tongue on earth be silent,
Ev'ry voice in concert ring,
Evermore and evermore.
5 Glory be to God the Father,
Glory be to God the Son,
Glory to the Holy Spirit,
Persons three, yet Godhead one.
Glory be from all creation
While eternal ages run,
Evermore and evermore.

And with fear and trembling stand;
Ponder nothing earthly minded,
For with blessing in his hand
Christ our God to earth descendeth,
Our full homage to demand.
2 King of kings, yet born of Mary,
As of old on earth he stood,
Lord of lords in human vesture;
In the Body and the Blood
He will give to all the faithful
His own self for heav'nly food.
3 Rank on rank the host of heaven
Spreads its vanguard on the way,
As the Light of Light descendeth
From the realms of endless day,
That the pow'rs of hell may vanish
As the darkness clears away.
4 At his feet the six winged seraph;
Cherubim with sleepless eye,
Veil their faces to the Presence,
As with ceaseless voice they cry,
"Alleluia, alleluia!
Alleluia, Lord Most High!" Scripture: Habakkuk 2:20 Used With Tune: PICARDY Text Sources: Liturgy of St. James, 4th cetn
Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence
We walk by faith, and not by sight
Author: Henry Alford Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 72 hymnals Topics: Holy Days St. Thomas Lyrics:
We walk by faith, and not by sight;
No gracious words we hear
From him who spake as man ne'er spake;
But we believe him near.
We may not touch his hands and side,
Nor follow where he trod;
But in his promise we rejoice,
And cry, "My Lord and God!"
Help then, O Lord, our unbelief;
And may our faith abound,
To call on thee when thou art near,
And seek where thou art found:
That, when our life of faith is done,
In realms of clearer light
We may behold thee as thou art,
With full and endless sight.
Amen.

O Master, let me walk with Thee
Author: Washington Gladden Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 572 hymnals Topics: Ember Days and Ordination Lyrics:
O Master, let me walk with thee
In lowly paths of service free;
Tell me thy secret; help me bear
The strain of toil, the fret of care.

Help me the slow of heart to move
By some clear, winning word of love;
Teach me the wayward feet to stay,
And guide them in the homeward way.
Teach me thy patience; still with thee
In closer, dearer company,
In work that keeps faith sweet and strong,
In trust that triumphs over wrong,
In hope that sends a shining ray
Far down the future's broadening way,
In peace that only thou canst give,
With thee, O Master, let me live.
Amen.

and thanks never ceasing and infinite love.
